It's Different For Girls...

I would like to think there are more like me out there. The ones who are absolutely enamored with Joe Jackson. I know you're there.
I saw him in 2002 at the Paradise in Boston and I was truly hooked. His voice melts my brain like chocolate over strawberries. The energy of the band borders on insanity, especially during songs like "One More Time" and the lyrics are the kind of utter truth that can only come from a man who has been though "it".
Tonight, I just happened to be messing about online and found that he was playing around this area. New England, but mostly New Hampshire and NYC. I was ready to fork over the cash and go to Portsmouth when the man of the household found out he was playing at Lupo's on the first of November.
Oh the mad rush that followed about 10 minutes ago. Tickets were purchased and printed out, put in an envelope and away for safe-keeping until they unearth themselves that fateful day.
If you like Joe Jackson, seeing him will seal the deal and give him a place in any imaginable musical situation you may find yourself in.
